@Terisa de Morgan, yeah, but her mysteries rarely surprise me nowadays. I read for the banter and character interactions.

I'm excited for the next dust bunny.

Kindle Daily Deal today for $0.99 - As it happens, I'm right in the middle of reading this and am really enjoying it.

The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan

Spoiler:
Miss Chloe Fong has plans for her life, lists for her days, and absolutely no time for nonsense. Three years ago, she told her childhood sweetheart that he could talk to her once he planned to be serious. He disappeared that very night.

Except now he’s back. Jeremy Wentworth, the Duke of Lansing, has returned to the tiny village he once visited with the hope of wooing Chloe. In his defense, it took him years of attempting to be serious to realize that the endeavor was incompatible with his personality.

All he has to do is convince Chloe to make room for a mischievous trickster in her life, then disclose that in all the years they’ve known each other, he’s failed to mention his real name, his title… and the minor fact that he owns her entire village.

Only one thing can go wrong: Everything.

Can't Help Falling In Love is #3 in Bella Andre's Sullivans series. It's free right now at a lot of places:

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006L73G7A
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/can...llivans-book-3
Kindle UK: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Cant-Help...dp/B006L73G7A/

Probably Kobo UK too, but I don't typically check there .

Quote:
"An amazing love story with an amazing hero that keeps you hooked!" 5 stars

Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.

Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.

Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter...but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she's been guarding for so long? If one - or both - of them aren't careful, they just might end up falling in love.

CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE is part of Bella Andre's #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books, too.

All three titles in the first of the Hidden Legacy trilogies by Ilona Andrews are on sale for $2.99 each at Kindle and Kobo US. I would say this is in honor of the next book in the series (part of the second trilogy) coming out, but that's not going to be until 2022? So maybe it's in honor of the success of their new self-pubbed (but well worth reading) book, Blood Heir, set in their Kate Daniels world? In any case, if you like to binge read a series, this sale's for you .

I think Avon is having a $2.99 sale as the first three books in Tessa Dare's Girl Meets Duke series are also on sale for $2.99 (The Duchess Deal, The Governess Game, and The Wallflower Wager)

(sorry can't post links at the moment).

Night Broken is the eighth in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I'm slowly working my way through this series, and am starting to like it more, so I'm snagging this one for the future.

Quote:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson series has been hailed as “one of the best” (Library Journal). Now Mercy must deal with an unwanted guest—one that brings a danger unlike anything she’s ever known.

When her mate’s ex-wife storms back into their lives, Mercy knows something isn’t right. Christy has the furthest thing from good intentions—she wants Adam back, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get him, including turning the pack against Mercy.

Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. As the bodies start piling up, she must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart.

Magic Rises is the sixth in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I originally binge read this series from my local libraries (give or take a hold or two that slowed up the binge ), but have been slowly picking them up for myself when they go on sale. And this is the last full book in the series that I needed. Woo-hoo! I still need two novellas, but those will probably go on sale some day too.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller!

Atlanta is a city plagued by magical problems. Kate Daniels will fight to solve them—no matter the cost...

Mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord, are struggling to solve a heartbreaking crisis. Unable to control their beasts, many of the Pack’s shapeshifting children fail to survive to adulthood. While there is a medicine that can help, the secret to its making is closely guarded by the European packs, and there’s little available in Atlanta.

Kate can’t bear to watch innocents suffer, but the solution she and Curran have found threatens to be even more painful. The European shapeshifters who once outmaneuvered the Beast Lord have asked him to arbitrate a dispute—and they’ll pay him in medicine. With the young people’s survival and the Pack’s future at stake, Kate and Curran know they must accept the offer—but they have little doubt that they’re heading straight into a trap...

Serena Bell writes sweet and sexy romances that are emotionally hefty but don't get bogged down in too much angst. The first book of her latest series is currently on sale for $0.99.

So Close by Serena Bell

Spoiler:
Bossy billionaire. Sunshine-y innkeeper. Showdown time.

Auburn Campbell loves Beachcrest Inn. Working there saved her sanity as a teenager and got her back on her feet after a controlling relationship. So when Trey Xavier shows up, threatening to demolish Beachcrest, she's ready to fight. Nothing riles her up like a hot guy in an expensive suit on a power trip--in the worst and best ways.

Trey screwed up. And now he needs this land deal or he'll lose his business. He built his company from scratch so he could take care of his family the way his dad never did. But it would be a lot easier for Trey to stand his ground if Auburn didn't tempt him so badly. He hasn't wanted anyone like this in a long time. Maybe ever.

After a few days of summer sun, Auburn and Trey are both losing their heads--and maybe their hearts, too. Except they're both out of practice at losing.

Only one thing's certain: The Fourth of July in Tierney Bay will have plenty of fireworks this year.
